Chapter 30: Lao Li, do you want a wife?
"Meow~"
Perhaps he had an impression of the last time he fed the cat, or perhaps he thought that the person in front of him had the potential to become a cat owner, Dudu slowly approached with an arrogant step, not caring about his relatives.
Li Zehua squatted down and spread his hands, "There are no cat strips today."
I stroked its fur, pressed down along its neck with my palm, and Dudu squinted his eyes comfortably, making a low gurgling sound.
The owner is really sensible.
As they gradually became familiar with each other and felt the joy of the cat rubbing against him, Li Zehua began to smile and the fatigue in his body relaxed.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared before my eyes.
"Dudu."
"Your cat?"
When we met again, I couldn't stop being amazed. Each other's beauty was so real!
Looking up from an upward angle, under the dim light, it evokes the most primitive desires and impulses in people's hearts.
"Yeah." The girl's tall stature forced her to bend down, "Dudu, let's go home."
"Guru Guru~"
The only response she got was a comfortable hum. Li Zehua's perfect massage technique made it linger and no matter how its owner called it, it refused to move at all.
Seeing the girl's hesitant attitude, Li Zehua took the initiative to break the awkwardness. He lifted up Dudu with one hand and slowly handed it to her. "The last time I saw it, it didn't seem to be you next to it?"
Without waiting for the girl to respond, he took the initiative to introduce himself again. The girl took the cat from him with a little confusion, but did not leave immediately.
Her hands gently soothed the cat, and Dudu, who had been struggling to escape, calmed down. The girl then looked at him.
She seemed to think it was impolite, or maybe she didn't think he was a bad guy. "My name is Shen Wanyi, and this is the cat my friend raised."
"Chen Xiaomin?" Li Zehua tilted his head and greeted the cat, causing Dudu to become agitated again, as if his hands had a special magical power to seduce.
Shen Wanyi took a step back without leaving a trace, holding Dudu in her arms and trying not to let it break free, and gave Li Zehua a formal smile, "Yes."
It can be seen that the resistance is obvious. Li Zehua did not dwell on it. He took two steps back and said hello, "Don't bother me. Good night!"
When we passed each other, he suddenly turned around and said in a slightly naughty tone, "Goodbye, Dudu."
Shen Wanyi was stunned. After a while of frantic efforts, she finally calmed Dudu down. When she looked up again, he was no longer there...
During the May Day holiday, Li Zehua had a rare day off. The company's license had not yet been obtained, and many tasks were forced to come to a halt. For example, the planned campus recruitment of temporary workers, advertising and promotion, business negotiations, company organizational structure, and staffing were all waiting for him to complete personally.
Starting a business is never a joke.
But he was not idle. He added two people recommended by Yan Jianmin on QQ. One was a local Shanghai woman in her 40s. She had complete accounting certificates and rich experience. She had an intermediate professional title. She was stable in all aspects and had a happy family with two sons and one daughter. The reason why she was willing to condescend to work for a startup company was that Li Zehua offered a high salary of 2,500 yuan with bonuses, and she was excluded in the original company's competition because she insisted on the bottom line.
This was exactly the quality he valued, and after arranging a time for an interview, he turned his attention to another one.
I have to say that Yan Jianmin is very concerned about his affairs. The person he recommended has an impressive resume. He graduated from a 211 key university with a master's degree. He worked in a foreign company for nine years and rose to become the deputy director of human resources of the Hua Xia branch. Later, due to family reasons, he joined a municipal G-owned enterprise. In less than two years, he developed symptoms such as hair loss, silence, anxiety and insomnia.
I recently resigned, but was not able to get a high-level job or a low-level job, so I came here with the recommendation of Yan Jianmin.
"Mr. Gu Shijie, I don't understand English and I haven't even been to college, so my requirements are very simple." Out of politeness, Li Zehua did not discuss in detail on QQ, but communicated directly on the phone.
He is sincere, but doesn't hold out too much hope. "It's just a simple word. I don't want my company to have too much intrigue and infighting in the office. Compared to relying on cold and ruthless systems, I prefer to use money to solve the problem while adhering to the bottom line. To be frank, you don't have to look at other people's faces when you come out to work. If you pay enough, everyone is a friend!"
"Yes, there is no flattery or deception. It is simple. We hire those who meet the company's standards and do not hire those who do not meet the standards. My first principle is to immediately fire those who are found to be cheating. For mistakes that do not involve the bottom line, education can be the main approach."
"That's about right. The initial registered capital is two million, and I can still afford to invest several million in the future. Mr. Yan Jianmin can testify to this. The business model of the company's development direction has been verified by the market and is completely feasible.
Who can predict the future of a startup? An unexpected event may come before tomorrow, and you may fail just before success. I cannot guarantee how far you will develop, but if you don’t have a dream, what is the difference between you and a salted fish? I don’t dare to dream of being in the Fortune 500.”
"Okay, sorry to bother you then."
With the attitude of giving it a try, Li Zehua answered the other party's questions seriously. It was not until he was about to hang up the phone that he suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, you seemed to say that you wanted to have a face-to-face meeting?"
"Yes, I think many of our ideas coincide with each other, and it is necessary to communicate face to face." Gu Shijie's voice was steady and clear on the phone, "But not today, I'm on vacation with my family, and I will be back in Shanghai in about three days. Let's communicate face to face then."
"Okay, I wish you and your family a happy holiday." Li Zehua hung up the phone in confusion. Can my newly opened team catch big fish?
Confused, I called Yan Jianmin, who was also confused, "Did he really ask you out?"
Li Zehua was speechless. "So you don't have any expectations, so why are you recommending it to me?"
Yan Jianmin chuckled, trying to cover up his embarrassment, "Doesn't this just meet your requirements? Since you agreed to meet, it's a good thing. I watched Xiao Gu grow up, and he is absolutely reliable."
"..."
"Am I talking about Gu Shijie?"
Li Zehua gradually became familiar with him and found the way to communicate with him again after more than ten years. "Old Yan, you are so out of touch. No wonder your daughter has always wanted to apply for you to the Senior Citizens University."
"No, how could Lao Zheng tell you this?" An exasperated voice came from the other end of the phone, "I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to settle the score with Lao Zheng."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zehua was speechless. This old man hasn't changed at all and is still as unreliable as ever.
However, I finally breathed a sigh of relief after solving the two major problems of finance and personnel.
After a quick tidy up, I went downstairs to eat something. When I passed by the third floor, I heard a sharp and piercing scratching sound at the door...
